Mascara said Cybil Green was a major player in the drug scheme, who used her management position at a Fort Pierce Steak and Shake restaurant to facilitate the large scale drug operation.

The Federal Bureau of Investigation, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, Drug Enforcement Administration, and Homeland Security worked with the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office on "Operation Big Mi-steak" named after Green's seemingly innocuous day job.

Mascara said Green, "actually sold drugs from the restaurant."

According to Mascara, investigators seized 50 grams of Fentanyl, 4 grams of heroin, 220 grams (almost a half a pound) of powdered cocaine, 9 grams of crack cocaine, 1 gram of molly, 11.5 grams of crystal meth, as well as marijuana, testosterone, Xanax, and Carfentanil.

Deputies said the drug business was a "family affair" that Green ran with boyfriend Johnny Lewis, her son Rodney Stevens and his girlfriend Latoya Felder.

According to Mascara, Green used juvenile children to package drugs. Investigators said the children were taken into protective custody.

More than 20 guns seized in the operation were sent to off to a crime lab in order to determine if they had been used in violent crimes, according to Mascara, who said the results could lead to even more charges and arrests.
